Waiting on Apple Blues

So a short post, not really a post so much as a rant. Unheard of in blog-world. I really need a new computer, and for a variety of reasons that are not really of interest here, I decided to go with a Mac. Yay. Well, it serves my needs, except for one thing. I want a better processor than the ones they put in any of the current line of Macs (well, sorta-kinda-except for the Xeon in the Pro). The new Intel i5 has, in the common laptop mode, two Nehalem cores. Current technology? In a Mac? So, as of this date, I'm twiddling my thumbs, not so much because I like thumb-twiddling, but because I'm waiting for my personal Mac to finish, say, opening up a browser.
